The Twenty Seventh Blog Of Trig - The Sound of the Initiator

I was thinking about music and sound a while back, and I thought about the way we speak of one beat being faster or slower than another. Surely, I thought, it makes logical sense to speak of frequency rather than speed. We describe this thing called a beat as going faster or speeding up, but technically it is more frequent. Speed should be confined to continuous change such as in motion.

Then I went deeper...consider a quick burst of sound. If repeated periodically we can describe the resulting rhythm in terms of its' frequency, and this is what is mistaken for speed. We talk of 'bps' or 'beats per second', which is another way of saying frequency; how frequent the beats are. Let's take a small section ('wavepacket'?) of this rhythm, and 'speed it up' (increase the frequency) until it sounds like a beat itself, we can them repeat the resulting blip and produce a new rhythm containing the original rhythm hidden in each beat. We can then repeat the process, taking a packet of these beats and increasing the frequency until they themselves are a beat, and start again.

This led me to the idea of frequencies hidden within frequencies (...within frequencies). A sound wave, or a burst of waves, can be repeated regularly to form a beat. A section or 'wavepacket' of this beat can then be 'sped up' to the point where it becomes a 'blip', the individual beats so close together that we cannot distinguish them by ear. Repeat this again and again, repeat it indefinitely to form an infinitely complex sound, with completely different characteristics dependent upon the wavelengths/frequencies you are tuned in to. Unless you were on the level of the original blip, looking 'down' on your creation, you would see (/hear) around you an infinitely massive world of vibration, most of which is out of your range. You would only hear the frequency within your range, and might believe that this was all that exists. The further down the vibrational chain you are resident, the more impossible it would seem to see/hear the top of the chain; the sound of the initiator.

The Third Blog Of Trig - A Common Philosophy

Okay, blog number three...'three'...'three'...where do I go with 'three'..?

'Three's a crowd'...'crowd'...'people'...'life'...'philosophy'...I'm off! Here we go!

Differences in philosophy are a major, dominant factor in the wars of humans. Of course, common philosophies do bring pockets of people together in agreement to some degree, but ultimately the petty differences between the different world religions/cults/beliefs can lead single minded egotistical humans to become very angry, to the point where they will hurt, maim, rape, kill each other to punish the other for not agreeing, or to simply rid them from this Earth. I don't think it is unreasonable to say that this is the most devisive issue in the world today. Where does it stem from?

More often than not in this world, people neglect their enquiry into the nature or purpose of their existence and latch onto someone else's explanation or conclusion, or else they simply abandon their enquiry altogether and chase material or physical pleasures. The late preacher-teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti famously said, "truth is a pathless land." By this he meant that each individual can only find truth, god, enlightenment, peace, through their own path, that as individuals we inevitably all tread different paths, so to all follow one spiritual path led out before us is folly. He also said that in order to embrace our own true path we must embrace the moment we pass through, which is the only real truth we ever encounter in our lives.

The world needs a common philosophy, without doctrine, to bring about peace. My logic tells me that this could only be based around the realisation of the indisputable fact that life, the one moment of unity we all occupy and pass through, is an amazing miracle. Don't take that statement as having any relation to religion. I refer to the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, between living and not; to be born out of nothing that we can recall and be presented with an ongoing moment of perception, from within a strange unchosen body, faced with challenges, and questions we may never see answered, as part of an amazing, infinitely varied yet unified world.

It IS a miracle, this moment. How can you willfully depress the miracle of another person's life under that realisation.
